Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

"Yes, are you scared?"

When Luo Nianqing saw Xu Xingchen's surprised expression, there was a hint of self-mockery in his words, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed even more desolate, like the last fallen leaf floating alone in the air at dusk in autumn.

Although it still retains its unique beauty, it heralds the changing of seasons and the withering of life.

"I have married five men, and it is rumored that their fates seem to be cursed. Some of them died suddenly on their wedding night, when the festive atmosphere reached its peak; some died on the eve of the wedding."

"Just when everything was ready and they were about to enter the marriage hall, they passed away quietly; some even left this world forever on their wedding day, before they officially became my husband."

"Without exception, these five men did not survive to see sunrise the next day."

Luo Nianqing's voice was low and heavy, and every word seemed to be telling of endless pain.

Hearing this, Xu Xingchen's whole body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, as if he was suddenly hit by an invisible force. He never expected that the fairy in front of him, Luo Nianqing, was cold and elegant, as noble as the cold moon.

Despite having such a tortuous and bizarre past, she had entered the marriage hall five times, and each partner was like a shooting star across the night sky, brilliant for a moment but then disappeared from the world without exception.

Such news would be soul-stirring for anyone, let alone Xu Xingchen, who was new to love. However, Xu Xingchen was not an ordinary person. In his young and tough heart, there was a burning courage to not fear difficulties and obstacles and to challenge the unknown.

Death, a word that everyone fears, does not seem to have enough deterrent power for him. The fire of his life is even more tenacious than the hardest drill bit. No matter how bumpy and rugged the road ahead is, it cannot be easily extinguished.

"fine."

Xu Xingchen took a deep breath, a firm and slightly unruly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued.

"I have never known what fear is."

This sentence was his declaration of war on fate and also a fearless acceptance of Luo Nianqing's past.

After saying these words, Xu Xingchen's heart was filled with unspeakable determination and tenderness. He did not hesitate or retreat at all. Instead, he hugged the beautiful woman Luo Nianqing in his arms even more tightly.

Her body was petite and soft, like the finest silk in spring, warm and comfortable, as if it could instantly dispel all the cold and gloom in the world, and cast a layer of warm glow over this moment.

In Xu Xingchen's strong and solid embrace, Luo Nianqing couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of security and reliance. The feeling was so strong that she almost indulged in it.

Unwilling to face the turmoil and challenges of the outside world anymore, Luo Nianqing's heartbeat gradually synchronized with Xu Xingchen's. Every beat seemed to speak of the deep attachment and trust between them.

Being tightly embraced by Xu Xingchen in his warm and strong arms, Luo Nianqing felt as if she was in a peaceful harbor. She slowly and gracefully raised her delicate and mature face, as beautiful and charming as a newly blooming flower.

Those moist and beautiful eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, and they were looking at Xu Xingchen in front of them affectionately.

In her beautiful eyes, there was a complex and delicate light flashing, which contained both surprise and delight at this sudden embrace, as if to confirm whether all this was real, and deep emotion.

It was a gentle ripple that touched the depths of her soul, spreading gently. Her eyes also contained a trace of imperceptible worry and uneasiness, perhaps the worry about the uncertainty of the future.

However, these subtle emotions were skillfully hidden by Luo Nianqing in the deepest part of her heart, not wanting them to affect this rare warm moment.

But Luo Nianqing's admiration for Xu Xingchen grew deeper and deeper. This feeling came from his extraordinary courage and affection. She originally thought that when this seemingly ordinary little man learned about the heavy and terrible past he had been carrying.

Like most people, she would be crushed by those rumors and choose to escape, or even flee and disappear from her world. After all, there are those rumors and misunderstandings about her.

Like a sharp blade, it is enough to sever any emotional bond that has not yet been solidified, making people feel fearful and discouraged. However, Xu Xingchen subverted Luo Nianqing's expectations.

Not only was Xu Xingchen not frightened by the negative information, but he seemed to be driven by an invisible force, which further strengthened his inner belief and determination. There was no fear or retreat in his eyes.

There was only full determination and tenderness, as if telling Ke Luo Nianqing: No matter how terrible your past was, I am willing to share it with you and face it together.

Looking at Xu Xingchen who was so confident and determined in front of her, Luo Nianqing couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. She had imagined countless times that when the little man holding her learned the truth, his reaction might be shock, fear, or even disgust.

Moreover, he would have been so scared that he would have run away, but I didn't expect that he was not afraid at all.

But at this moment, she found that her imagination was completely unnecessary, because Xu Xingchen was not scared away. Instead, he stood by her with a more mature and tolerant attitude, giving her unprecedented sense of security and support.

At this moment, Luo Nianqing was tightly embraced by Xu Xingchen's warm and solid arms. She seemed to have found a moment of peace and support. In this tranquility, she slowly and carefully raised her heavy little head full of stories.

Her eyes fell gently and deeply on Xu Xingchen's handsome face. There was both inquiry and expectation in her eyes, as if she was looking for someone who could listen to the secrets deep in her heart.

"Do you want to know?"

Luo Nianqing's voice was as thin as a gossamer thread, and as gentle as the willow branches swaying gently in the morning light in early spring, brushing across the quiet water surface, creating circles of delicate ripples.

Moreover, there was a hint of imperceptible fragility and struggle hidden in that voice, like the faintest starlight in the night sky, flickering in the endless darkness, but unwilling to be discovered easily.

Luo Nianqing lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was carrying the burden of the past in every blink of an eye. A faint sadness filled the air, which intertwined with her words to form an indescribable atmosphere.

"The five men I married, the real cause of their death..."

Having said that, Luo Nianqing's voice involuntarily paused slightly at this moment, as if she was restrained by some invisible force, and complex emotions flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She lowered her little head, her pair of delicate hands unconsciously intertwined, as if she was having a fierce struggle deep in her heart, wondering whether she should once again uncover the long-forgotten and heartbreaking past.

Those memories were like heavy shackles that made her breathless, and they were an indispensable part of her.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingchen's handsome face showed unprecedented seriousness and concentration. He lowered his head and stared into Luo Nianqing's beautiful eyes that were full of stories, as if he could penetrate the mist of time and directly touch her soul deep in her heart.

At this moment, Xu Xingchen felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. It was deep sympathy and understanding for Luo Nianqing; it was admiration and praise for her courage in facing the past; and it was a commitment of unconditional trust and support for her.

Xu Xingchen knew what this moment meant to Luo Nianqing. It was not just a simple confession or sharing, but also a way for her to let go and reconcile with her past.

Therefore, when Luo Nianqing finished speaking, Xu Xingchen nodded slightly without any hesitation.

"If you're willing to talk, I'm willing to listen."

Xu Xingchen replied gently.

At this moment, hearing that Xu Xingchen, who was holding him, was willing to listen to him, Luo Nianqing felt an indescribable feeling of being touched and relieved. Looking into Xu Xingchen's eyes full of tenderness and care, it seemed as if all his fatigue and troubles had found a home at this moment.
